Port Freeport

Facts About Port Freeport

This port is arguably one of the most accessible ports in the Gulf Coast
region. With a channel that is 400 feet wide and 45 feet deep, Port Freeport
is ideal for large ships. Although this port already has an abundance
of property, it still has more than 7500 available acres of land for businesses
who want to develop industry there. This port also has immediate access
to waterways, highways and railways which is essential for any port that
wants to be a major hub for transportation. Port Freeport encourages businesses
to enquire about making the port their home because they are concerned
about the needs of the economy at large as well as the needs of individual
companies.

Abnormally Low Levels of Insurance Claims

Port Freeport also boasts insurance claims that are well below the average for
Texas ports. This is important, considering that the maritime industry is highly dangerous,
with accidents occurring often. Although accident insurance claims are
lower at this port, Arnold & Itkin is fully aware that this does not
mean it is non-existent. If you were injured while working at Port Freeport—because
we know injuries do happen here—you need to contact our firm for
help filing a claim. What is extremely important to remember about this
port though is the fact that they are dedicated to creating job opportunities
for those who live in Freeport and areas throughout Brazoria County.

The port also acts as a foreign trade zone, much like the Port of Brownsville,
because of its access to Mexico. Port Freeport is distinguished by their
commitment to environmental safety and policy. Although industrial operations
are often extremely harmful to the environment, this port takes extra
measures to ensure that the environment and the people residing in that
area are not harmed by operations. The commissioners for Freeport have
taken it upon themselves to make this not only a place of industry, but
an organization that promotes community.

About Freeport, Texas

Port Freeport is located in Freeport, in Brazoria County in Southeast Texas.
This particular city runs on the Port of Freeport. Without it, the economy
would not be as stable as it is today. Chemical plants are also associated
with the port and this city, as it is the home of the large firm Dow Chemical
Company. Of the 13 square miles of the city, 10% of it is water. Although
the industry that sustains Freeport revolves around the chemical and port
industries, tourism is also a significant contributor to the health of
the local economy.

Freeport is close to beaches such as Surfside Beach and Quintana Beach.
Greater Brazoria County has a rich Texas history, as it contains the town
that was once the capital of the Republic of Texas. Most Texans are fully
aware that their beloved state used to be its own sovereign nation from
the years 1836 to 1846, with Velasco as its capital. The county is named
for the nearby Brazos River; in addition, it is the home of former presidential
candidate Ron Paul.
